"It'll just be here, but this is the main street ah?" The Tenten, who was at the side, called out, "If we fight here, then we'll accidentally injure the passersby if we're not careful."
"Don't worry, and that won't happen, and I have my own sense of propriety." Kaoru said with a smile.
"It'll just be here, and I won't be afraid either!" Neji also said while refusing to admit defeat.
"Very well then, and we should begin immediately now!" Guy also didn't object after hearing Kaoru say it like that, and he knew that Kaoru had his own plans, and announced immediately.
"You should work hard oh, Neji, and Kaoru Uchiha is one year younger than you! And you'll be letting down your reputation as a genius if you lose!" Guy continued to add fuel to the fire.
"That's for sure!" Neji responded coldly, and then placed his gaze on Kaoru's body: "You should make the first move!"
"What? I should make the first move?" Kaoru was truly both amused and annoyed, and it seemed that Neji was considerably confident in himself, and then he would just follow Guy's wishes, and beat down this genius of the Hyūga clan well.
"That's right!" Neji nodded his head, and said.
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite!" Kaoru chuckled lightly, and then formed hand seals with both of his hands: "Fire Style, Great Fireball Technique!"
He opened his mouth, and spat out a fireball immediately!
And this fireball began to expand to more than one hundred times its original size in an instant from the time it had left Kaoru's mouth, and actually submerged the entire street completely in an instant, along with the surrounding buildings and passersby!
"You're joking, right!" Neji's pair of Byakugan widened in disbelief, and his vision was full of a bright red color right now, and he had felt an unbearable sense of heat even before the fireball had approached!
This couldn't be considered a fireball at all, and it was simply a large sea of fire!
"Damn it, and it's actually this powerful!" Neji shouted out in alarm, and his footsteps retreated again and again, and how should he resist this move, Rotation?
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms? These two moves couldn't compare to this sea of fire at all, and he would be dead no matter how he looked at it!
"Ah!!!" Neji let out a shout of collapse in the end, and his heart was full of despair while sensing the burning sensation that was getting closer and closer.
"It's over....." Neji heard these three words suddenly, and then the sea of fire before him disappeared, and the surrounding buildings and passersby, who had been burnt down, had also returned to their original state.
Kaoru was standing in place, and the scarlet eyes had faded back to black again.
And Neji was sitting on the ground with a face that was full of dejection, and was still maintaining that look of terror from before.
"Hey, Neji, what's wrong with you ah? The battle hasn't begun yet, so why have you collapsed?" Little Lee asked while looking at the Neji, who was on the ground, and the Tenten, who was at the side, also had a face that was full of confusion, and they had only seen the two sides strike a battle stance, and then Neji seemed to have been frightened by something, and had retreated again and again, and had fallen onto the ground in the end.
"This is.....a genjutsu!" Neji had only reacted at this time, and he had been struck by Kaoru's genjutsu, and he had simply had no power to resist before Kaoru's genjutsu.
"Now, Neji, and do you still want to continue challenging?" Guy, who was at the side, also put away the smiling expression, and said to Neji with a face that was full of sternness.
"Damn it....." Neji had a face that was full of anger, and he had actually been defeated easily with one move by a youth who was the same age as him, and he, who was called the genius of the Hyūga clan, simply couldn't accept this fact for a time.
He also knew very clearly in his heart at this time that he would only add another defeat even if he challenged again.
"Neji ah, and you know the importance of training now, right, and will you still listen to my words, and train well ah?" Guy educated immediately after seeing that Neji wasn't speaking.
"I of course know the importance of training." Neji clenched his fists and said, "It's just that this method of training of yours.....never mind, and I'll listen to you well from now on."
Guy's face revealed a smile again after seeing Neji yield, and it seemed that his matter of using Kaoru to beat down Neji had already succeeded.
"That's how it should be, and only shameless cultivation can allow you to become an excellent ninja!" Guy gave a thumbs up and said.
"Shameless....." Kaoru was speechless, and this described it considerably appropriately ah.
"Alright, and I'll leave then." Kaoru had already delayed some time here, and greeted Guy immediately, and then turned around and left.
"Kaoru Uchiha, huh....." Neji said in a cold voice while looking at Kaoru's back, "It seems that I have to train even harder."
"It seems that you care about him considerably ah." The Little Lee, who was at the side, said, and then looked at Guy: "Guy-sensei, and will this person participate in next year's Chūnin Exams, and he'll be our formidable opponent if he participates."
"Of course he won't....." Guy shook his head, and his face became stern: "Because he's no longer a Genin long ago."
The other three people all revealed a look of shock after hearing Guy say it like that.
And on the other side, the Kaoru, who had bid farewell to Guy's team, had come to Ichiraku Ramen shop directly, and there were already two people waiting for them here.
"Hey, Kaoru, over here, over here!" A youth with light blue hair shouted towards Kaoru from within the ramen shop, and a long-haired ponytail girl with red hair was also sitting beside him.
This girl also had a face that was full of excitement and joy after seeing Kaoru's arrival at this time.
These two people were precisely Shin and Hina.
"I'm here, I'm here!" Kaoru also waved his hand after seeing Shin and Hina, and walked over, and sat beside them.
"I'm sorry ah, and I was delayed by a bit of something on the road, and therefore I'm late." Kaoru said with a smile, and then shouted loudly towards the counter: "Boss, three bowls of miso ramen!"
"Alright, and you should wait a bit!" Ichiraku, who was behind the counter, said with a smile while narrowing his eyes.
Today noon was precisely the day that their Team Seven had agreed to meet, and therefore Kaoru was this hurried.
"Time is truly passing by quickly ah, and two years have passed in a flash like this, and we also haven't seen each other for some days." Shin said with a smile.
"That's right, and you're all so busy, and I can't see your figures usually!" Hina complained in a low voice.
She didn't know that Kaoru and Shin, one was in the Anbu, and one was in the Root organization, and they were indeed considerably busy usually.
"Right, and I also have to congratulate you for passing the Chūnin Exams a few days ago, Hina, and you're a Chūnin now." Kaoru said to Hina, and this was also the purpose of their meeting, and it was to celebrate Hina passing the Chūnin Exams.
"Actually, there's really nothing to celebrate....." Hina's small face turned red after hearing Kaoru say it like that, "I'm a whole two years late compared to you."
"How can you say it like that, and it's fine as long as you can become a Chūnin." Shin also said with a smile.
"What you're saying isn't wrong.....but the pressure is truly too great to be your companion." Hina said embarrassedly.
"The ramen's here!" And Ichiraku walked over while carrying a tray at this time.
